In January 2023, we committed to the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi), a collaboration between CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). The SBTi defines and promotes best practice in science-based target setting and independently assesses companies’ decarbonization targets. Our commitment led to the development of a detailed strategy and, in April 2025, RINA S.p.A. approved near and long-term science-based emissions reduction targets with the SBTi. The detailed strategy includes both near-term targets (by 2030) to reduce our emissions and the long-term target of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. In particular:
- RINA S.p.A. commits to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 42% by FY2030 from a FY2023 base year *.
- RINA S.p.A. also commits to increase active annual sourcing of renewable electricity from 67.2% in FY2023 to 100% by FY2030*.
- RINA S.p.A further commits to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions 51.6% per EUR value added by FY2030 from a FY2023 base year*.
- RINA S.p.A. commits to reduce absolute Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions 90% by FY2050 from a FY2023 base year*.
*(The target boundary includes land-related emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks)
Read in detail about our strategy to reduce CO2 emissions
71.8% of our global electricity supply comes from renewable energy sources. Our goal is to source exclusively from renewables, wherever available, by the end of 2030.
Thanks to remote working, 1,504 tons of CO₂ emissions were saved in 2024, mainly due to reduced commuting. This figure also includes emissions related to home office consumptions.
We are progressively renewing our company fleet by introducing hybrid and electric vehicles.
In December 2024, RINA once again achieved its Carbon Neutral target. In addition to continuous emissions monitoring and the implementation of reduction initiatives, residual emissions were offset through the purchase of carbon credits generated by certified projects under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), Verra, and Gold Standard.
